In this episode of We’re Not Stumped, host Mike Bolland welcomes Dr. Stephanie W. Cawthon, a disabled author, speaker, and researcher, to discuss her groundbreaking new book, Disability as Human. As a professor at the University of Texas at Austin and the founder of the National Disability Center for Student Success, Stephanie wears many professional “hats” in her mission to advance accessibility and disability inclusion.
Beyond individual experiences, Stephanie and Mike explore the importance of systems-level work in accessibility. Stephanie highlights the need for proactive and sustainable solutions that bring disabled students into the heart of decision-making. She also delves into the challenges and rewards of driving meaningful, large-scale change.
Join us for an insightful discussion that redefines how we view disability and inclusion in education and beyond!
